“When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else's hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society's ills--the main source of man's inhumanity to man--is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition--an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education and income levels. If people were to recognise that one belief for what it is--an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth--most of the violence, oppression and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. "The Most Dangerous Superstition" exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realising it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilised human being, you must read this book.”

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Kleptocracy (Official Video)
Lyrics
It doesn't matter who you voted for
They bought the man that you elected
Selling liberty and martial law
Installed the one that you rejected
And all the presidents and kings and queens
The revolution had ejected
Stole the money through the backroom door
To Deutsche Bank undetected
And the Kremlin and the KGB
Under golden bed disinfected
Got the gossip on the GOP
And the candidate they selected
Saudi money over Central Park
Khashoggi's body got dissected
With dirty slogans on the red bus door
The narcissist stole the exit
It doesn't matter who you voted for
They bought the man that you elected
Selling liberty and martial law
Installed the one that you rejected
And all the presidents and kings and queens
The revolution had ejected
Stole the money through the backroom door
To Deutsche Bank undetected
